The Edmonton Oilers are set to begin the 2025-26 National Hockey League (NHL) season without top line winger, Zach Hyman. The winger underwent wrist surgery stemming from an injury sustained in Game Four against the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals.
Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said this earlier this month “Zach will, unfortunately, not be able to join us for our home opener,” He added “We’re thinking, guideline, probably around November 1. So maybe a little bit earlier, maybe a little bit later, but around that timeline.”
Hyman signed with the Oilers as an Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA) in 2021, inking a seven-year $38.
